How To Make Beef Tacos At The Campsite

You can make easy camping meals that bring in exciting international flavors no matter where your campsite is located.

If you want to expand the global theme to your camping dinner recipes, just add a similar flavor profile to your side dishes and appetizers.

Step 1. Prepare your cooking equipment.

If you are making this as one of our campfire recipes, you’ll need to get your fire going in order to cook over coals (not flames) … you can also use charcoal briquettes.

If fire restrictions prevent you from using an open flame … or you just prefer cooking with propane, you can also make this as one of our camp stove recipes so get your stove ready for cooking on a level surface.


Step 2. Prepare the veggies and measure out all ingredients.

You’ll need to chop cilantro, tomato, onion and jalapeno pepper for the taco toppings.

Step 3. Brown the meat.

Camp Cooking Tip:
If you measure your ground beef at home, you can freeze it in a plastic freezer
bag in a flat square so it transports easily in a cooler or RV refrigerator and
defrosts nicely when it is time to use it.

You’ll be browning the hamburger
over a medium-high heat.

Don’t drain the fat.


Step 4. Add the seasoning.

One of the things that makes this recipe so simple is the flavor-filled taco seasoning you add to the meat.


Step 5. Thoroughly cook the hamburger.

You will continue cooking the ground beef until it is fully
cooked and the seasonings are completely incorporated.


Step 6. Build the tacos.

Every taco starts with a hard taco shell and the meat mixture, then you can add whatever
toppings you like.

We like our tacos at the campsite the same way we like them
at home … loaded with lots of toppings!

So, we add cilantro, tomato,
onion, jalapeno pepper, cheddar cheese, guacamole
and sour cream.

You can use prepared guacamole but we like making this fresh guacamole camping appetizer and then reserve some for our taco dinner.
